Chumash: Teitsei, Shishi with Rashi.
Tehillim: 55-59. Also 28-30.
Tanya: And this is (p. 455)...the sea." (p. 457).
Great elders of the Alter Rebbe's chassidim used to say that Yechidus (private audience with the Rebbe) means: "clear," "designated," "united."
The sources of these three interpretations are in Shekalim 6:2, Yevamot 62a, and Bereishit Raba 20.
This means that the idea of Yechidus is:
To clarify one's own status;
To designate a mode of Avoda for him in "turn(ing) away from evil" and in the acquisition of fine character traits;
And that he should bind himself[1] in total oneness, and utterly dedicate himself[1] with all his desires.
Notes:
To the Rebbe.
